1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

An innovative electrochemical sensor is introduced based on a nickel-iron (NiFe) alloy, designed for rapid, cost-effective, and straightforward sugar determination in food. The sensor features vertically aligned NiFe nanowire arrays, providing a high surface area for enhanced performance. Sensor calibration was performed for various mono- and disaccharide reducing sugars. In the linear range 0.05-0.3 mM, sensors exhibited a sensitivity of 0.642 µA µM⁻¹·cm⁻², with a detection limit of 2.57 µM for monosaccharides and a limit of quantification of 14 µM. In the same linear range, for disaccharides a sensitivity of 0.355 µA µM⁻¹·cm⁻², a detection limit of 4.62 µM and a limit of quantification of 14 µM were found. The sensors displayed excellent selectivity towards reducing sugars with negligible interference from glycerin, citric acid, Cu
